What is the chokehold that Open Water has on Chicago! It's in my hotel room, it's at the coffee shop, it's in the art museum.

Okay, @bapollo.bsky.social has blown my mind. Did you know that Buildabear is now doing Buildabear “after dark?!” Yes, it’s what you think it is!!

(Is it Build A Bear or Buildabear??)

SCMS Grad Students!
We can’t wait to see you at 8PM tonight at the Graduate Student Reception!
Please note: The Gold Room is located on the 2nd floor of the Fairmont Hotel—there is a misprint in the program that incorrectly lists it as being on the 3rd floor. See you then!
